Install Date of Individual Patch

This issue has been solved. See solution.

I'm looking for a report or to create a report showing what patches have been installed on a machine (kb number and possibly a description of the patch), when the patch was installed, and who installed the patch. The date installed and by who are the two critical pieces we need to satisfy our security audit. Can any one provide the table(s) that would contain this information?



I found a tool, wmic, which we ran by the following command line against a machine



wmic /node:'<machinename>' qfe GET description,FixComments,hotfixid,installedby,installedon,servicepackineffect > QFE-<machinename>.txt



It pulls the required information. I would like to duplicate this information in Altiris. I found the Inv_AeX_OS_Updates_spt table, but when ran against the same machine, the Inv_AeX_OS_Updates_spt does not report any installed dates or installed by.

Hello mfox,

This is gathered by inventory solution, not patch, and is in the AeX_OS_Quick_Fix_Engineering dataclass. What exactly are you looking the report to do? All installed fixes? Dropdown to select a fix?



Cheers,



Jim

Thanks for the quick response.



Our sas70 audit comes to us with 20-30 servers that they need to see what patches have been applied to the machine, when they were applied and who applied them.
